Following on from our urgent Coronavirus Tourism Summit, we are hosting a Tourism Coronavirus
Webinar in partnership with Mills Selig, a leading corporate and commercial law
firm, on Thursday 26th March at 10:30am focusing on employment law -furloughed workers and zero hours workers -, funding options
and financial support available.

Tourism has been at the
front line of coronavirus’ business and economic impact. We have been calling
for the government (locally and nationally) to implement immediate measures to
support you, who have been dealing with the economic impact since the start of
the outbreak. We have lobbied for key government measures providing support to
businesses in light of COVID-19 and the webinar will focus on:

Financial support
provided by the government to businesses

Funding available from
the banking and finance industry

The Job Retention Scheme
and the issue of furloughed workersFor example: who it
applies to, what is the process, how long will it be in place, does it apply to
zero hours workers, how do we calculate earnings etc.
